Two severe weather fronts are expected to sweep across North Wales prompting forecasters to issue warnings for rain.

The heaviest downpours are forecast for Tuesday when four inches are expected to fall and there are two yellow “be aware” warnings in place for Tuesday and Wednesday, when more than two inches (60mm) are predicted to fall, and three inches on Friday.

A Met Office spokesman said: “The storm will affect many western parts of the UK during Friday, with the largest rainfall totals over west to southwest facing hills.

“The rain will be accompanied by southwesterly gales.

“Another area of low pressure is expected to move quickly east across the Atlantic later in the week, bringing a spell of very windy weather to all parts of the UK, whilst rain will be persistent and heavy over west facing hills.”

National Resources Wales currently have no flood alerts or warnings, although the situation may change as the wet weather approaches.
